Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fuck, you guys. My boss has been on vacation this week, and I have not gotten nearly enough stuff done. I have done a bunch of things that came up throughout the week, but I still feel so behind! OK, what I should do is review my list thinking about what she will care about. And then see what I can knock off my list in the next couple of hours.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Zen, years ago the association I worked for had a sudden explosion (metaphorical, not literal) in the number of attendees at a conference. They were doubling up staff, stashing people in B&Bs, even had some staying in RVs. For some reason, that year Billings, Montana, was THE PLACE TO BE.

Then, of course, about three days before the conference, someone called up and said he absolutely HAD to have a suite in the conference hotel.

Prioritize like the wind, Jesse!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Fuck, you guys.

I missed that comma and wondered what I missed.

It's all good, now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

We were given the ok to leave work early, but I am listening to a girl on guy podcast so I am now here alone. I did some onerous task of finding old explanation of benefits from health insurance to back up my FSA card swipes. Such a chore.

Not fuck you guys! Just fuck. You guys.

Also I just had my weirdest thought of the week, while in the bathroom: If I were an office cleaner, I would only ever go to the bathroom in the other gender's room. Just for fun! Because you're in there alone, cleaning!

Ha! No, I got it. I just missed the comma the first time around.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've used hamster bedding in small muslin drawstring bags--and added in dried roses and lavender because more girly--for my lingerie drawers. And I tuck the bags among my mohair stuffed animals and hand-quilted coverlets, and hand-embroidered linen and cotton dresser scarves and tea towels.

This is a great idea, thanks Beverly. I have some of those cedar blocks but this sounds much more effective to me, plus replenishable.

Not fuck you guys! Just fuck. You guys.

Like Steph I misread at first, but then thought, "that doesn't sound like Jesse, except the 'fuck' part."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

hamster bedding in small muslin drawstring bags

That's brilliant.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We had food moths (not the same as clothes moths) in our pantry, and Tim put hamster bedding in an old pantyhose leg and tacked it up over the doorway inside the pantry. No more moths.

I'm less concerned about flappy moths than I am about the larvae. I mean, just typing the word "larvae" makes me want to burn the house down.
